This doesn't feel right. Let the man rest.

It doesn't feel right, but if it's any consolation there isn't anything super juicy there, plus he pretty much admitted it was him without making a big fanfare about it.

I'll leave one of his Reddit comments here.

"For over 40 years, my life pretty much revolved around drugs. . Booze and cigarettes almost the background music to my drugs of choice ( heroin and cocaine). Drug free but a drinker until I started BJJ--at which point the inevitability of getting smashed every day made alcohol a much less attractive option and cigarettes out of the question. Frankly, BJJ as an addiction has in many ways replaced my previous ones. If I'm away from my home academy, I find myself looking for someplace anyplace to train like a dope fiend looking for a methadone clinic."

At the risk of this comment being equivalent to many other "this doesn't belong on HN" comments:

This is almost to the level of doxxing. Please consider removing, or at least changing the headline (nothing intrinsically wrong with highlighting comments from an interesting account).

As soon i as i read "private" i cringed

If it was private. That was for a reason. The man had an awesome public persona and shared that with millions freely.

He clearly also wanted to participate as a regular human

Me too, considering there is nothing really "private" about posting on a public forum.

He clearly also wanted to participate as a regular human

And he did that for a while, but he's now resting in peace, I doubt us reading his Reddit comments gonna change much about that.

Is it doxxing? Seems like people knew who he was at the time, and he was writing about himself in a fairly informal way.

I am annoyed, however, that for some reason you can still comment on these posts, which is a shame because it's like scribbling on Anne Frank's diary - even if well intended it's fairly tactless.

Is Rolling Stone "doxxing" him here with this article?

And what is the proof?

I wish he was still around. One of not many celebrity deaths which I felt any emotion about.
